Health and safety is essential to keep organisations functioning effectively while looking after assets, systems, employees and customers. Good health and safety<\/a> procedures should ensure systems are safe, workers understand and are able to carry out working methods and ultimately it all means the customer is satisfied with the final service or product. The logistics industry is no different. From the warehouse to the customs office and from couriers to the forklift drivers, a system that is built on safety is more likely to reap rewards than one that cuts corners and puts assets and people at risk. And never has safe working been needed to such a high degree as now with the onset of the Covid-19 epidemic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A place for safety<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There has always been firm guidelines\r\nfor health and safety in the logistics industry. Some of those regulations are specifically\r\nto do with the industry itself (such as manual handling guidance), others are\r\nmore generalised and found in everyday life (i.e., HGV drivers should only\r\ndrive for a specific amount of hours; drivers should always wear their\r\nseatbelts). Even with same-day couriers – where there is a need to dispatch and\r\ndeliver at breakneck speed \u2013 we ensure our employees adhere to the health and\r\nsafety rules and regulations of the road and our company. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Covid-19 and couriers<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The epidemic<\/a> has added a further layer of rules and regulations which are not necessarily specific to the logistics and delivery industry itself but are aimed at all members of the population. Indeed, as a company offering a service both locally and internationally, we want to be at the forefront of safe working – and end the virus. So, you can rest assured that you will see our couriers following these simple rules:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
